the stem cell Hope<br />

How stem cell medicine can change our lives<br />

no one is better poised to report the facts about stem cell research than alice<br />

Park. During her fifteen-plus years covering health and medical issues for Time<br />

magazine, Park has seen the limitations of drugs and pharmaceutical products<br />

in the fight against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and alzheimer’s. but what if<br />

tissues damaged by disease could be replaced with a patient’s own healthy cells?<br />

Park shares a compelling history of stem cell research, from the personal<br />

tragedy that fueled the founding of the Harvard stem cell institute to the<br />

Japanese researcher who recently coaxed stem cells from mouse skin. Destined<br />

to become the go-to book on the subject, The Stem Cell Hope masterfully<br />

chronicles one of modern medical science’s most exciting frontiers.<br />

“A tour de force of storytelling.”<br />

—Sharon Begley, author of Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain<br />

“Infuses a difficult scientific subject with intrigue, passion, and fun.”<br />

—Michael F. Roisen, M.D., coauthor of the YOU series<br />
